Man charged in connection to body found in McLeansville

Guilford County authorities have arrested a Mocksville man in connection to the death of a woman found dead by the side the road in McLeansville last week.

According to a release from the Guilford County Sheriff' Office, Anthony Clay Campbell, no age available, of Mocksville, was arrested Tuesday and charged with first-degree murder in the death of Joyce Price Eaton, a High Point woman who worked at the Verizon store at Alamance Crossing Shopping Center in Burlington.

Campbell is Guilford County Jail in Greensboro without bond.

Few details were available Tuesday night. The Guilford County Sheriff's Office has set a press conference for 11 a.m. Wednesday at the Sheriff's Office in Greensboro.

Eaton, 45, of High Point was found dead on the side of AT&T Drive around 11:20 a.m. Thursday, the Guilford County Sheriff’s Office reported. Landscaping workers found her in a ditch.

investigators said Eaton suffered from “at least one” gunshot wound and that she had also been cut, but couldn’t confirm the lacerations were a result of being stabbed. The sheriff’s office wouldn’t release any more details on the extent of her injuries.

Eaton had worked at the Verizon Wireless store on Glidewell Drive in Burlington, off Boone Station Drive, for about a year, said David Gonzalez, an assistant manager.
